Western Connecticut Health Network Scholarship Information

At The Gunnery, our students learn the importance of citizenship and the value of community service. In the spirit of giving back to the communities we serve, The Gunnery offers two, $15,000 merit-based scholarships annually toward the total cost of tuition to children, grandchildren and relatives of Western Connecticut Health Network employees, and any physicians affiliated with Danbury, New Milford and Norwalk hospitals.

Students entering grades 9, 10 or 11 are eligible to apply. Families who wish to be considered for the scholarship should identify themselves to the Admissions Office at The Gunnery. Scholarships will be awarded at the discretion of the Admissions office and will be based on an interview, academic record, teacher recommendations, demonstrated achievement, involvement and/or interest in extracurricular activities such as athletics, visual and performing arts or community service. Strong consideration will be given to students who embody the school’s mission, which places an emphasis on what we believe to be the four cornerstones of character: scholarship, integrity, respect and responsibility.

Assuming the student remains in good standing and the relative remains employed by WCHN, the scholarship will be automatically renewed each year that the student is enrolled at The Gunnery.

While scholarship awards are based on merit, recipients are also welcome to apply for need-based financial aid.

The Gunnery

Founded in 1850 by abolitionist, educator, and outdoorsman Frederick Gunn, The Gunnery is a coeducational college preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 9 through 12/post-graduate. Dedicated teacher-mentor-coaches challenge students to reach their full potential in a home-like setting where character and citizenship are valued as much as intellect and achievement. Individualized attention and high expectations help young learners develop not only the skills and confidence they will need in college, but also the moral compass and love of learning that will serve them well in life. The school attracts ambitious, academically curious students who will both shine as unique individuals and thrive as contributing members of a deeply connected community. By the time they graduate, Gunnery students have become well rounded, grounded young adults with a sharpened sense of who they are and who they want to become.
